Diana

Diana is from the village of Kvirike, in the Adjara Region. She is 22 years old and works as a waitress at the local café. Her monthly wage is approximately $240. Diana is married and lives with her child, spouse and parents. Her father runs small scale agricultural business and grows maize and nuts on the family-owned plot of land. He also is involved animal husbandry business and breeds pigs.

The existing family funds are modest and hardly enough to cover food and every day expenses. That is the reason why Diana decided to start a clothing trading business. She has no experience in this field but hopes she will cope with all the difficulties and generate a good income since there are not many clothing stores in her district. She has applied for this loan in order to purchase a supply of clothing at wholesale prices and sell them among her coworkers and community members. She will be very nice to her customers and do her job with love and care.

Diana will be able to earn more income and make savings to satisfy the everyday needs of her family members. She awaits your generosity.
